I currently have a light fixture on a switch loop and would like to add a second light that would be powered by the same switch. Can you add a second fixture? Forgive my novice picture, but if so, is this an allowable setup?
Hello fellow electricians,
Would anyone know how to connect a Nalder Bros & Thompson LTD London, please?
~The BS 89 is a tough book to obtain.
I wired the unit according to this diagram, which is the closest what I have.
This is the beauty in pics:
And this is what I thought to do next, plug...
Came into work today with a fairly urgent requirement to install an instant hot water handwash unit in a small commercial kitchenette/servery - circa 2.8kw. Of course, it's in a right difficult area.
As the handwash is over 2kW, I'd ideally like to follow OSG advice and give it it's own...
Hi can you power a second consumer unit in the garage from our main consumer unit. We have a big armed cable from the main consumer unit into the garage and can we connect this to a second consumer unit? The armed cable current runs our solor and comes from the fuse in the picture attached.
Good morning everyone,
Thanks for having me!
I was an apprentice from May 2008- August 2009 gaining my Level 2 certificate in Electrical Installation but I was 16 and wasn't quite ready for the big bad world of work and got sacked. I then laboured for a builder who we did electrical work for...
Hi, I have a question about how to install a new switch to toggle a light I installed into a 2-gang box where an existing switch with power source exists. What I would like to do is utilize the existing power source without effecting the operation of the existing switch, meaning I don't want the...
I have a light that runs off a single switch. In the same box as the single switch there is a now abandoned three wire cable running to another box on other side of room (don’t ask me why they had two switches connect to each other but not to any fixtures..). In the other box there is now only...
I have an existing EmerGen Switch installed in my main panel that links to 10 breakers. The main panel is located in the basement.
I recently upgraded my generator and now want to power additional breakers that exist in a sub panel which is located in the garage.

Hi. I've had a kitchen extension done and the builder has charged for first and second fix electrics. He has since said that my consumer unit needs upgrading to add more RCBOs but this will cost me extra.
I would've thought this should be included, am I wrong?
He has also said that I will need...
Hi all, I want to add a second light in my kitchen (controlled by the same switch for the current light) can I spur the second light from the ceiling rose? It's a loop in from mains and loop out to the other rooms, could I use connector blocks to feed the second light from the first light...

Adding an image of my set up
Basically this is the run across like 60-75 ft. The main line comes into a switch to control the entire line. That continues through 8 lights and then into an outlet. Originally After that outlet I had a light but I wanted to be able to control it independently...
Hi all,
A quick question, we are looking to purchase an induction hob and have been considering a second hand option, if one could be found that's almost new.
We have found someone selling an Electrolux one, that is claimed to be unused and looks like it is still in the packaging (minus any...
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well in these trying times.
I'm planning an extension to my house, and I'm looking to have a second consumer board fitted inside the extension. I'm hoping I can feed this new board from the meter box and not as a sub-board from the original consumer unit...
Hi.
First up, I am not a qualified electrician so this is a DIY project However, I am physicist by training with a specialism in electromagnetism, so I know the principals of circuits.
